For spraying ballast, after continually blasting ballast all over the place I discovered that the problem was the type of bottle I was using. The best kind are the cheap hairspray bottles. Buy a bottle of Suave hairspray, the pump kind. Dump the hairspray and use the 50/50 solution of glue and water, with a couple drops of dish soap. It only costs 99 cents for the hairspray at the dollar store or Wal mart. While you're at it, pick up a second bottle and only put water in it. When you're done ballasting with the glue bottle, take the pump cap and put it on the water bottle and pump it a couple dozen times to get all the glue out. Otherwise it won't mist right next time and you'll have to get another. Good luck!
